“A dying culture invariably exhibits personal rudeness. Bad manners. Lack of consideration for others in minor matters. A loss of politeness, of gentle manners, is more significant than is a riot.” Robert A. Heinlein

Just purchased the Viper HS LR 6-24x50 FFP Riflescope with XLR Reticle (Long Range, MOA) got it for R13 000.00 down from the regular R20 000.00 that is all my budget will allow, for the time being. I am going to try and get a Primary Arms 4-14X44mm FFP Rifle Scope - Illuminated ACSS HUD DMR .308 / .223 Reticle as a backup sight only costs around R 6000.00 locally stock only available in 2 months time unfortunately, but it will give me the time to earn the money I need to pay for it.

Although the word "Commando" was wrongly used to describe all Boer soldiers, a commando was a unit formed from a particular district. None of the units was organized in regular companies, battalions or squadrons. The Boer commandos were individualists who were difficult to control, resented formal discipline or orders, and earned a British jibe that"every Boer was his own general".

Thought of posting this in the funny image thread but I think they will feel more validated here:

I want to get my hunters permit this year or the next, then you can get a shotgun or rifle in Norway. But you have to keep it locked up, and the ammo can't be together with the gun. A friend has a pistol, he shoots regularly in a club (Which is an requirement in Norway if you want a pistol or revolver). I want a gun for hunting but also for self-defense.
